For many years now the alternative media, myself included, have been jumping up and down trying to get the attention of our fellow man in regards to the mainstream media’s constant control of news. Luckily over the past several years, and more so due to the revolution of the internet and alternative media itself, people have begun noticing that the corporate media plays a very important role in making sure people are spoon fed information.

News stories are hand picked at the top of the largest conglomerates depending on what happens that best fits “their” agenda, and from there the stories are talked about day in and day out, nonstop until the viewer can repeat the story back to you word for word, even if the version they were given was not actually how the event played out in the first place.

A blatant and clear example of how the media handles big news stories can be seen when we examine the events of the past two weeks.

Over the last two weeks, there have been not one, not two, but THREE “mass shootings” here in the United States. However with that said, I am willing to bet you only heard about TWO.

The first of course was the shooting at the Planned Parenthood Center in Colorado. This story made headline news of course due to the nature of the crime, but also for more not so subtle reasons than that alone. Nonetheless it really became a national daily news story due to the fact that the Agenda is to take away 2nd Amendment rights of Americans,and equate crazy gun owners with people who wish to do harm to Planned parenthood or anyone who supports it.

The second of course is the much more recent Mass shooting which quickly developed into an “active shooter” situation, and was further equipped with a whole series of buzzwords used over and over again to captivate, program, and passify the viewer into suggestive thought. Words and phrases like active shooter, domestic terrorism, and assault weapons, are all used dozens upon dozens of times.

To go even further, we can see an even bigger picture unfold, which is mostly because we have 3 separate incidents that were all “mass shootings” with a high number either killed, injured, or both, all within just days of each other. We have a clear and perfect example of blatant control of information and news, where the media decides what the public gets to digest.

The third and final mass shooting which you heard nothing about happened on November 22, 2015 in the 9th Ward in New Orleans, Louisiana. The shooting occurred at a party in the Bunny Friend Park and left 17 people injured out of a crowd of hundreds, more than 70 bullet casings littered on the ground, and blood everywhere. The main suspect has been identified as Joseph “Moe” Allen, and officials say that more than half of the attendee’s were children, and nobody there was over 30 — making all of the victims of the shooting children or young adults

Allen, according to Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office records, is a convicted felon and has been charged with home invasion, carjacking, illegal carrying of weapon and possession of cocaine and heroin. In 2002, he was arrested with Travis Scott, who recently pleaded guilty to a federal racketeering charge. Scott’s younger brothers, Akein “Keemy” Scott and Shawn “Shizzle” Scott, have pleaded guilty to numerous charges related to the 2013 Mother’s Day shooting in which they opened fire into a second line crowd, leaving 20 people injured.

As mentioned, the incident happened in the N.O’s 9th Ward, a largely impoverished area with a large population of black residents. the incident can be seen as what some call “black on black” violence, which leaves no room for a media storm due to the fact that this type of incident doesn’t fit “their” agenda. Not to mention, as seen above, the suspect is a violent convicted felon who possessed a gun even though as a felon and due to the “magic”of law and gun restrictions, he shouldn’t have had.

With all of this it is easy to see how the media picks and chooses what to cover, and what not to cover. Is the Bunny Friend shooting any less important than the Planned Parenthood and San Bernadino shootings? Why is it that people are not outraged at the deafening silence by the media, and even the President himself?

The Senate voted Wednesday to give President Barack Obama “fast track” authority to negotiate trade deals—one of the final steps in a long political battle that pitted the White House against House Democrats.

The bill—which passed 60-38 in the Senate—will be sent to the president’s desk later this afternoon, but it was not immediately clear when he would sign it.

The House of Representatives passed a bill Thursday to give President Barack Obama “fast track” trade authority.

The bill would allow Obama and future presidents to send trade agreements to Congress for up-or-down votes without amendments. The bill now goes to the Senate, where Republican leaders are seeking to pick up enough support from Democrats to pass the measure and send it to Obama’s desk. Obama wants fast track to speed congressional passage of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership, a 12-nation trade deal.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S military launched airstrikes Saturday targeting and likely killing an al-Qaida leader in eastern Libya who has been charged with leading the attack on a gas plant in Algeria in 2013 that killed at least 35 hostages, including three Americans.

The Libyan government said warplanes targeted and killed Mokhtar BelMokhtar and several others in the eastern city of Ajdabiya. A U.S. official said two F-15 fighter jets launched multiple 500-pound bombs in the attack. The official was not authorized to discuss the details of the attack publicly so spoke on condition of anonymity.

U.S. officials said they are still assessing the results of the strike, but Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren said the military believes the strike was successful and hit the target.

Officials said there were no U.S. personnel on the ground for the assault.
